The Kentucky Idea.

The official count in Kentucky will not
probably be completed for some time. 1t NAV
be assumed as certain, however, that the
plurality of Buckner, the Democratic candi-
date, Will not be under ten nor over twenty
thousand. 1t is also certain that the vote is
the largest ever polled in the State. The
great decrease in the Democratic plurality
marked by this election has already been
commented on in these columns. From g.
800 for Tilden, $4,000 for Hancock, and 34,OOO
for Cleveland to less than 10000 for Buckner
in very full vote is remarkable falling
off. AS the vote polled was larger than ever
before this decrease of Democratic plurality
might be attributed at first thought to freer
exercise of the suffrage by the negroes, who
would naturally be Republicans. But it is
said to be fact that the Republicans have
rather lost than gained in the negro strong
holds, and that the gain is to be found almost
entirely among the whites The most ration
al explanation, indeed the only explanation
except the Louisville Courier Journals stere-
otyped assertion that the Democrats staid at
home when they should have voted, credits
the increase of the Republican vote both to
traditional impulses and to the spirit of pro-
gress. Kentucky was not always Demo-
cratic State. In the days of Henry Clay it
was Wing State, a stronghold of protection.
The Kentucky idea" did not then mean
free trade. AS the days of slavery get fur
ther back into the past and the animosities
of the war become less intense, the old Wing
gerry of tie State crops out on the side Of the
protective tariff and the Blair educational
bill. Then, too, in the mountain counties,
which were almost unanimously Unionist
during the war, Cleveland's veto of the de.
pendent pension bill, and the very odious
war record of Gen. Buckner PLAYED a great
part. To these impulses there seems To have
been added conviction that the s'Kentuckv
idea'of Carlisle. Beck and Watterson
is not what the State needs now
and this conviction fortfes the old
Wing inclination to a protective tariff
Major Powell of the Geological Survey at
Washington recently said that, while Ken
lucky has no diamonds ''the great mineral re-
sources of the Cumberland plateau take the
form of coal, iron, oil and gas, and possess
permanent value exceeding that of the silver
of Nevada, the gold of California, or the dia-
mOnds of the Cape" Not only is this min
eral wealth there but it is being developed.
